Although numerous individuals contributed - and continue to contribute - to this list, a very special 'Thank You' is owed to Mark Horan, of Connecticut USA, whose original classifications, alphabetically and by boat, were the solid base upon which this expanded list was constructed.

Cpl. George Wheeler, MM

A member of Lieutenant Philip Walton's small Demolition Party, George was another of the few who disembarked from ML 457 at the Old Mole. When Walton was killed shortly thereafter Wheeler became part of 'Tiger' Watson's team in the struggle to survive without extra reinforcement. As with Watson he subsequently joined in the breakout and found himself pairing up with the Canadian Lance Corporal Sims, the two remaining in concealment until darkness, then setting off cross country with the idea of making it all the way to Spain.

Assisted by the Resistance, the two men were fed into an 'escape line' that saw them cross the Pyrenees and make it all the way to Gibraltar. Upon returning to the UK as the first of those who had been left behind to return, George was less than impressed atfinding himself interrogated as a possible German plant!
